    Great video, I'm buying a 2013 328i this weekend. $6,200. 65,000 miles 1 owner serviced by bmw at every service intervals. This is a unicorn car for performance v performance. Unbelievable technology. It will cost me thousands every year, but I don't care

      6k dollars for 65k miles
      something's fishy
      did you buy it already?
      check the time chain it might be ready to break
      i doubt a well maintenanced f30 will be sold for 6k good luck tho

    great video man, i have an f30 335, considering upgrading to a 340 and getting a 328 for a daily...also just wanted to let you know, you don’t have to press the on/off button twice...after you press it once you just get out and when you lock it it cuts off completely

    I went from a E46 to a F30 328 and I love it! I do miss the heavier steering that was in the E46 but other than that, F30 all day. It's quick and so far its been pretty reliable.

      For my car I payed 11k for it. So far put 500 miles on it. Its a garage car for the most part and not ny daily driver. The passenger window regulator was broken and I had to pay 800 dollars to fix it. Not due for another service until next 12k miles. It has 80400k miles and runs great. I hit the high speeds corners doing 70mph in Texas. Good car so far.

    My car now has 231,000 km and it is now oct 2021 - same red interior and mineral grey exterior which I love . Tremendous reliability - I have replaced some pulley belts under an extended warranty and I just replaced the waste gate actuator . I am sorrowful to get rid of this car ( I am looking at the new 4 series convertible with the polarizing new front end but you can how see much I love my 3 series F30 with all wheel drive to come back in 2021 to comment )
    I may keep this car .

    Nice review. I have a 2013 F30 328i in the Sport Line trim. Bought it gently used with just 20K miles. I don't drive it much as it's a weekend car but last year the AC compressor failed! It set me back $1600 to get it replaced - ouch! Let's just say that if it's running well, you're ok but if something breaks you better have a large budget ready to spend on it. It is a fun, quick and eye catching car to drive and own though. Not meant to be a daily. If you want a reliable daily, buy a Japanese car. I have a 2011 Nissan Altima with 167K and it hasn't missed a beat!

      Thanks bud. I still have it and really can’t see myself getting rid of it easily. It’s always been reliable and looks brand new inside and out. There’s a lot to like in these cars at their current price range but the maintenance costs are a worry. If you have a local trustworthy mechanic I’d think about it but the dealership service costs are really high!
